An article discusses a case where a 35-year-old female physical education teacher experienced knee pain, diagnosed as patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Dr. Zhang Bangwei from the Guoyang Clinic notes that PFPS is characterized by anterior knee pain, often due to various muscle imbalances leading to patellar misalignment and friction. If left untreated, PFPS can progress to chondromalacia patella with more severe pain, which can be treated using regenerative therapies like PRP or PLT to promote cartilage repair. Proper evaluation and treatment are crucial to prevent PFPS from developing into chondromalacia patella, especially in cases of structural instability.
